Asics DS Trainers.

There are no other unless you have perfect feet and legs.  Which most don't!

That said when you stick a pair of normal runners on the scales and a pair of lightweights but not racers on the scale the difference is about 50g.  Quite frankly does 100g really make a difference unless you are Haile Gebrselassie?

Lucy,

The weight did not help Haile Gebrselassie in the 2007 London Marathon did it? I beat him!!  hahaha

Ok, he pulled out at Mile 19/20, when I was just going past mile 5, but thats not the point
